Some Mitsubishi Mirage owners report experiencing a burning smell, which can be caused by issues such as engine oil leaks, coolant leaks, bad blower motors, slipping serpentine belts, or burning electrical components. This burning smell is often accompanied by slow acceleration, indicating potential engine problems that need to be addressed to maintain optimal performance. Additionally, some owners have noted poor brake performance, including grinding and decreased efficiency, which may be linked to premature brake wear. A burning smell from the brakes can signal urgent issues that require immediate attention to avoid safety risks. To resolve these concerns, owners are advised to conduct diagnostic checks, prioritize brake inspections, and seek professional assistance to prevent further damage and ensure a safer driving experience.
